Finalizing my list before I start building.

Legacy Deck Help forum

Posted on March 16, 2016, 2:51 p.m. by rolypolyguy

Hi I'm fairly new to the legacy scene (last 8 months or so) and have been learning quite a bit. Dispite being around that long I still haven't build a deck due to that there were no places for me to play up until now. So since I have a place to play I want to build a deck and decided on shardless bug. I feel I have a fairly strong MB. but the side needs a rework imo and I want to finalize the list be for I start going out and buying/ trading stuff. So here's my list any suggestions on main or side are welcome. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/01-10-15-shardless-bug/Sorry I'm on mobile and cant rememner how to link it nicely.

I'd consider adding some number of basics, to help with mana denial decks. Most lists I've seen run a 2/1 split on bayou trop depending on their mana base. 4 brainstorm MB is 100% required. Don't run ponder in your SB, Or stifle and flusterstorm doesn't seem great, whiffing your Shardless is bad. Most Shardless decks approach their Game plan as a B/G/X deck. With the upside of having Force/Ancestral vision, and I think you've misconstrued the way they sideboard. You'd want things like Toxic Deluge, a 4th Hymn to Tourach, Maelstrom Pulse. For combo decks you'd bring in things such as Vendilion Clique, and additional piece of gravehate,Grafdigger's Cage being preferred since it helps with your poor elves match-up. some lists run a single Scrubland in the 75 to support 3-4 Meddling Mage for combo match ups as well.

How do the basic ratio look?

Looks decent. I recommend swapping 1 bayou for an underground sea, and checking outThe MTG-The Source thread on this deck. TheSource is a forum dedicated to legacy, and there's players who have much more experience with Shardless than I who can help you.

I absolutely hated running one basic swamp in my shardless list. Looking at 2 basic swamps is making me ill. I was running 3 UC, 3 Trop Isl, 2 Bayou, Forest and Island, 4 wasteland and a creeping tar pit. Getting waste locked rarely happens since you're playing 9 dual lands, I just don't see the point of the basic swamps.

Just my two cents.
